Do I need to remind anyone that when Trump says “we’ve became the hottest country in the world, a year ago we were dead and now everybody’s interested in us” he’s just talking about himself, or everybody well aware of that?

Wanna know what to expect from this Alaska summit? Apply this formula: Putin is as much Stalin as Trump is FDR, and Alaska is Yalta.
(This joke from Russian Telegram channels is funny because the whole world is captive to American hegemony)
@egorkotkin.substack.com · last yr.The Russian and Ukrainian sides have agreed on a joint memorandum for a peace treaty. The document outlines steps for phased reconciliation, the first of which is "Publication of all documents related to the Epstein case."

Thinking how many men's decisions driven by 🍆, I call bs on the fairytale of men's rationality vs women's emotionality. Better keep this energy within male circle. Normalize bisexuality & we will suck all the toxic masculinity out of each other. How's that for the left answer to the men's question?
Yemeni Houthis do not "living in caves", they were forced to operate from under the ground by the constant genocidal US or US-backed & armed assault for the last 10 years. Before that they were living in houses; in fact, people in that region were living in houses long before any white people would.
Nazi legal theorist Carl Schmitt called it the state of exception — when an emergency, real or invented, is used to suspend norms and rewrite the rules. I wrote this about Trump's fake trade "emergency," but it applies to new fake crisis in Los Angeles as well www.theframelab.org/unveiling-tr...
Trump’s Fake Emergency Over Trade Deficit Exposed
Trump’s trade war is based on a fake economic emergency, distorting facts to justify tariffs, gain power, and threaten U.S. stability.

Two main crimes of the USSR according to the right: 1. Antisemitism 2. Judeo-Bolshevism
Between two kinds of Western Russia-freaks, Russophobic crypto-Nazis & weird Putin simps, none will report the news highlighting the real depravity of Putin's Russia: 20 new billionaires since 2024. 140 billionaires in 2025 vs 0 in 2000. The entire Putin regime in one datum.

"Can you name a person saved by Luigi Mangione?" Apparently, yes.
"To avoid sounding unfounded, I will outline some specific problematic areas without which there will be no left theory of the 21st century – and no left movement that can take off and declare itself as a relevant political force in the 21st century" egorkotkin.substack.com/p/four-big-i...
"the left somehow conceded the idea of the primacy of economics to the right. But a century-old right-wing economics can carry a century-old right cultural politics. Yet only a progressive left economic policy can support a progressive left cultural agenda" egorkotkin.substack.com/p/four-big-i...
If asking his male friend to finger his holes and feel him from the inside was good enough for Jesus, then it's good enough for me. Amen.
"My heart goes out to you" looks like this. And Elon is just a fascist with transplanted hair, waiting to be hanged upside down.
Trump is doing us a favor by wasting all the fascist potential energy that has been accumulated in American society on supporting a trade war that is more likely to chill that energy than anything else. Trump's World War: open.substack.com/pub/egorkotk...
"There is an expression in Russian, “Thank you, God, that you took it in money,” which suggests seeing a loss of money as a payment for averting some other form of blow from fate. Economic pain of Trump’s trade war is paying a waiver of the pain of real war" open.substack.com/pub/egorkotk...
As Trump’s popularity drops and backlash mounts, he will turn even more authoritarian. The techniques he’s tested on immigrants will be turned on American citizens.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last yr.Trump to Bukele: "Home-growns are next. The home-growns. You gotta build about five more places. It's not big enough."
"Islam is a religion of peace," the Christian says sarcastically, and then proceeds to read how his god orders attacks on a neighboring tribe, orders genocide, decides to drown all the people and fetuses in the world, and advises on the acquisition & maintenance of slaves.
The ending of so many American movies was sending the information about government malfeasance to journalists, due to the assumed adversarial relationship between the press & the power. Now that would be sci-fi: today’s media first ask the government if they are okay with it.
I asked Grok to imagine Elon Musk as a character of Roman history and write a chapter about him and the role he played in the fate of Rome.
We sent a man into space and to the moon. Yet we still can't figure out how to live without fascism.
Meanwhile the entirety of USAID's illicit imperialist regime changing activity just moved directly under the State Department.
Bill McKay@mckay4senate.bsky.social · last yr.The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought: - 1.65 million deaths from AIDS - 500,000 from lack of vaccines - 550,000 from lack of food aid - 290,000 from malaria - 310,000 from TB
Speaking of Trump-Musk possible deal: Trump, notorious for broken promises, would only hold his end of the bargain if there's something material attached to the deal, and I think Trump believes that Musk stole elections for him, and will tell on him if they break apart.
